Soundproofing

Remember one important thing: THE AIR VENT.

I thought I'd soundproofed my basement ceiling with unfaced fiberglass insulation, then 1/2 inch styrofoam panels, then a suspended ceiling with sound retardent ceiling panels.

Guess what? The sound flowed right into the air duct and up into the first floor.

Thanks for the encourgement Max.

Krell man how did you fix your air vent problem and what was the end result like when it was all finished?

Thanks for the tip Larry

Hey man, I relate to you, I live beside a highway and it gets really loud especially at peak hours with the honking. Even at night, the engines from vehicles passing by is loud. My neighbours recommended this noise barrier wall for residential home, it worked great and I can catch good night's sleep, I'm sure it will help your case too.
